Helsinki based Tommi Viitala (born in 1975) has started active street photography over four years ago. However, the camera is not a new device for him because he has been filming more and less actively throughout his life, starting with film cameras from the 90s. Since the camera is almost always with Tommi, he also goes around the world filming streets, most recently in Budapest, Hungary.

In street photography, Tommi's signature style includes precise composition, sharp contrasts, moody atmosphere and symmetry. Of these, the contrasts are the most what Tommi chases every day on the streets. The sunnier the day, the more Tommi looks for shadows.

Street photography has also taught Tommi to look at the city in a different way, to look for exceptions and small glitches to pick up small beautiful details from those moments. Tommi's photos has been published also various street photography magazines.
